Royals catcher Salvador Perez left Thursday's game with a swollen right thumb, Joel Goldberg of Fox Sports Kansas City reports.

In a nightmare night for the Royals, Perez becomes the fourth player to earn a day-to-day tag on the team, though Lorenzo Cain's existed prior to Thursday. Fortunately, none of the injuries to this point appear serious, so it's quite possible the club is being cautious. Perez will join Cain, Kendrys Morales and Alex Rios as day-to-day, but the club may elect to rest them, which could mean starts for either Drew Butera or Francisco Pena if Perez sits.
